Keyboard shortcuts
Acronix Books is built to be driven from the keyboard. Learn the F-key module map, the F10 save key, the Ctrl+K command palette and the navigation keys that make voucher entry fast.
Acronix Books is designed so an experienced operator rarely touches the mouse. Interactions are tuned to feel instant (sub-200ms), and every screen has a status bar that always lists the shortcuts active right now — so you can discover the keys as you work instead of memorising them up front.
Discoverability is built in
You never have to guess. The status bar at the bottom of the window shows the shortcuts that apply to the current screen, dialog or field. The keys below are the ones you'll use across the whole app.
Jump straight to a module
The top-level modules are bound to the function keys, exactly like the on-screen navbar shows. Each also has an Alt + letter equivalent.

Learn three, save hours
If you only memorise three, make them Ctrl + K (find anything), F10 (save) and Esc (back). Those three carry you through most of a billing day; the status bar shows you the rest as you go.
